EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELLNESS At Frontier Co-op, we believe employee wellness is about more than exercising and getting an annual physical (although both of those are still important). Our wellness programs strive to support our employees in a holistic way. VIRGIN PULSE In 2021, we implemented a Virgin Pulse rewards program. This mobile app enables employees to earn wellness dollars for adopting healthy habits, including getting your steps in throughout the day and exploring other wellness areas that interest them, such as how to be a DEI ally, or how to reduce stress through mindfulness and self-care. Employee relationships also build a strong social network within our company, so we reward employees for joining challenges with friends while building healthy habits like starting your day right.
EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROVIDER (EAP) At Frontier Co-op, we’ve enjoyed this benefit for many years, but we recently switched providers to further expand the services available to meet employees’ emotional and mental health needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through our third-party provid- er, employees are able to have on-demand sessions with a professional in whichever platform they are most comfortable with, whether that be text, email, phone call, or video call. It is important to us that we make it as easy as possible for employees to get the help they need. In addition to these individual services, employees are also able to participate in virtual trainings, anonymous group counseling, flash courses on topics of their choosing, and access to other professional articles and resources. Our provider also maintains vital resources for managers to help them better support their staff and identify various mental health challenges in the workplace.
